Scheduling A Package With Variables Containing Spaces Or Dashes Fails
Jun 29, 2007
Using the "set values" tab, I am trying to set the values of package variables to strings that contain spaces and/or dashes. If I run the package using the integrations services server, it runs perfectly. If I schedule the package on SQL Server agent, I get the following error.
"Executed as user: GBPSQLServer. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 9.00.3042.00 for 64-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005. All rights reserved. Option "-restofstring" is not valid. The command line parameters are invalid. The step failed."
Looking at the command line generated by the SQL Agent interface, the value is quoted using double quotes like this:
/SQL "PackageName" /SERVER SQL1 /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /SET "Package.Variables[LogFolder].Value";"\remoteservernameinetpub he-restofstring
estofstring" /REPORTING E
It seems that the command line parser is not recognising the quotes, or maybe the slashes are throwing it off, or sql server agent is doing something funny to the command line before it executes it.
I have a Local DTS Package which will execute fine...no problems. When I try to schedule it from my NT 4.0 Workstation to the NT 4.0 Server, I get the job scheduling dialog box...fill it out...click OK...and NOTHING.
No error message, nothing in the SQL error log, nothing in the NT logs, no job in the schedule! When I perform the same task at the server logged in as Administrator it schedules successfully.
I have followed the steps in BOL (not too complex really) to schedule a package in SQL Server Agent.
My package reads out Data from the SQL Server and writes some log into a file. It is encrypted by a password and is stored to the filesystem. Executing the pkg via dtexec works fine.
Then I've created a new job with one step via SQL Server Management Studio, added the package and password when prompted.
I took the command line params and used them with dtexec: It woked. I started the job manually from SQL Server Management Studio by selecting "start job" from the context menu.
But when I try to schedule the job nothing happens. The only trace I can find is a warning in the SQL Server Agent Error Logs: "[162] Internal request (from SetJobNextRunDate [reason: schedule will not run again]) to deactivate schedule 2" This is inherent when you configure a schedule to go off once.
I am having a strange error coming in SQL server 2005.
I had a DTS package developed in SQl server 2000. Then i had migrated that DTS package to SSIS package using Execute DTS 2000 package. The conversion is successfull.
Then when i manullt execute this package it runs successfully without giving any error. But then wheh i schedule a SQL server agent job for the same above SSIS package it fails giving me some cryptographic error as follows:

Not sure why is this happening.
Manually running the SSIS package from Visual studio does not gives error, but the same SSIS package when is been schedule from SQL server 2005's SQL server agent job it fails giving above error.
I am not comfortable with DTS 2000 but I need to execute a encapsulated DTS 2000 package from a SSIS package. The real problem is when I need to pass SSIS variables to DTS 2000 package. The DTS 2000 package have 3 global variables that I can identify on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - Inner Variables ". I believe the SSIS variables must be mapped on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - OuterVariables ". How can I associate the SSIS variables(OuterVariables ) to "Inner Variables"? How can I do it? Much Thanks.
I did a small package with only one ODBC connection (Merant 3.70 32-Bit Progess). This package runs well in Visual Studio and fails when runs by SQL Server Agent.
Configuration:
SQL Server Agent on a 32Bit server.
The ODBC connection configuration in available on System DSN on this server.
The user of Server Agent have full access (Admin).
Connect Manager Provider: ".Net ProvidersOdbc Data Provider"
SQL Server version: 9.0.3042

I created a .bat file with this instruction and It's run well:
I have a SSIS package that reads the data from an Excel file using an Excel Connection Manager and imports the data to a table on a SQL Server 2005 DB instance.
When I run this package locally on the server the package being on the file system, the package executes perfectly. Now I upload the package to the msdb database and the run the package from there and the package still executes successfully.
Now I schedule the package to run as a SQL Server Agent job and the package fails and when the logging is enabled I see this in the log file;
OnError,WEB-INTSQL,NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM,Copy to CRN-ALLOCATION_COMMENTS_TEMP,{40A6BF6E-7121-448B-A49D-DED58FDC746A},{BD991566-F4BD-41BC-AEBF-264032D8D0D3},5/9/2006 1:54:52 PM,5/9/2006 1:54:52 PM,-1071611876,0x,The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.

I am wondering why the AcquireConnection method call is failing when the package is scheduled? I am running the step as a SQL Agent Service Account and it is the Local System account that starts up the SQL Server Agent and Server and is an Administrator on the box.
I have created a DTS Package which collects data from DB2 and stores in a table on SQL Server v 7.0. The execution of the package works fine.
When I schedule the package by right-clicking and selecting SCHEDULE PACKAGE, I fill in the dialog box. When the package runs, I receive the following error: DTSRun: Loading... Error: -2147217390 (80041012); Provider Error: 0 (0) Error string: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]ConnectionOpen (CreateFile()). Error source: Help file: Help context: 0. Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.
I get this same error when I run the package as a job. The package is in the repository. My run command looks like: DTSRun /S 111.11.11.11 /U sa /P xxxx /N DTS_Projections /R The package owner is sa.
I created a simple test DTS package to import a text file (2 rows, 5 fields wide) into a test table. When I manually execute the package in DTS, it is successful. When I schedule the package and the text file is located on the local drive (C:) the package is successful. I then modified the package to import the same file from the network drives, manually executing the import the package is successful. But when I schedule this package to import from a network drive it fails. Help? Where could the problem come from? NT security, limitations in SQL Server 7 SW, different levels of security between manual and scheduled processes, network security?
FYI: I am running Server 7, on WIN NT Workstation 4.0, SP5, DB size 12 GB, rolling 90 days of data.
HAVE CREATED LOCAL DTS PACKAGES WHICH I AM ABLE TO SCHEDULE OK. MY PROBLEM IS I HAVE A DTS PACKAGE WHIC IMPORTS DATA FROM REMOTE DATABASE, THIS PACKAGE WILL RUN WHEN EXECUTED BUT I CANNOT SCHEDULE IT. ANY IDEAS PLEASE THANKS IN ADVANCE PHILL
I got a DTS package and when i schedule it to run every day it is failing....??
When i normally run the DTS it is executing but when i click on the JOB and start the DTS it is failing.... is there any permission issues i should look at while shceduling a Job..???? :confused:
I have a DTS package which populates tables in a database from text files.
This is scheduled to run at 8:30am every morning. I did this by right-clicking on the package and selecting "Schedule Package". I can see the task has been set up in SQL Server Agent's job list.
This task only runs for the first time, and not any further. This task runs "successfully" the first time, i.e the tables in the database are populated with records from a text file. However, when I click on job history for the job, it says there is no job history. The status on the job says "Executing Job Step '1 - ....".
I believe the first time the job was executed, it was not completed properly, hence the status has not been set to "Not Running".
The owner of the package is administrator on the server, therefore have full access to the server. The task was scheduled by the administrator too.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this?
I am using Enterprise manager with an MSDE engine. I have created a DTS package that updates a table in one of the databases. If I right click and choose "Execute Package" it runs...No sweat. When I try to use the scheduler to run the job every hour, it always fails between 1 and 10 seconds into the job...It only returns the error "Failed During Step 1."
I'm wondering if this feature won't work with MSDE? Does anyone have any ideas?
I have setup a DTS Package using ActiveX to update some information via the SQL DB.
When i execute the DTS Package manually by right clicking on it and clicking on Execute Package, it works fine everytime.
When I try to schedule the package to run twice a day automatically, when the package starts, it executes once, however the status still shows executing and the next run time is listed as unknown. It seems to hang up and never finish. I do have the Step to quit after success and it still seems not to quit.
Any suggestions. This is the first DTS package I have ever used. Thanks for any help
I am having a slight problem with building a SSIS package and then scheduling it to run.
Basically I have created a .dtsx package and gone to Build Package and I can find it anywhare in SSMS. This is the first time I have created one of these so I apologise if thi sis a really stupid question.
I have created a DTS package that imports a comma delimited (CSV) textfile into a table. One field uses a VB script that parses a date intothe proper format for the transformation. All other fields are copiedas is. When I run the package directly the date field is importedcorrectly (ie MM/DD/YYY). When I schedule the package to run (the jobis in SQL Server Agent, Jobs) the month and day entries aretransposed. In other words the date field is imported as DD/MM/YYYY(ie Dec 4, 2003 should be 12/4/2003 but the scheduled job imports itas 4/12/2003)Does anyone have a fix for this ?Thanks
If I am scheduling a DTS package from a client workstation, do I need a particular type of authority on the server? I'm asking because I was able to schedule packages, now I cannot and have made no changes on the client.
I assume since packages move int SQL Server Agent there is some authority required. We are using NT Authentication (SQL7/NT Server).
I have the following problem with a local dts package which I created with a domain adminuser (domainadmdba) and runs ms oledb for oracle to execute access for a oracle database. thereafter the data fills up into a sqlserver table, this runs as local package perfectly. if i place the package into the scheduler and run the dts-job with an another domain user (domainsrv_sql=service account) i get connecting problems. the service account (domainsrv_sql) has sysadmin right in sqlserver and local administrator right on the operating system. which right must the service account possess, so that he has the necessary right to execute this dts package?
single dump from the log file:
with admdba:
The execution of the following DTS Package succeeded:
Step 'Delete from Table [HELPDESK].[dbo].[cuspers] Step' succeeded Step 'Copy Data from Results to [HELPDESK].[dbo].[cuspers] Step' failed

First time shopper on this board...hopefully you can help me.
I am trying to figure out how to schedule a DTS package located on a Server to run at a certain time. The DTS package will contain the path to a V/B 6 executable file residing on the same server.
So to test my methodology, I made a package on a server with code to run the V/B 6 executable off of my local machine. When executing the package manually it works fine. However, when I schedule it the job does not start. I could not find a way to edit the job I had previously scheduled so I made another one in case I "fat fingered" something. The same thing happens...no job starts.
I'm new in SSIS Development. I have manage to design and deploy my Package to production SQL(MSDB) Security rely on server storage.
The problem start when I start scheduling in SQL JOB I'm getting the following error.

I have created a SSIS Package to complete various tasks and I have managed to deploy it on SQL, however I can't find it in the Management Studio. I just want to be able to schedule this package to run as a job.
I have a legacy DTS package on my test SQL Server 2005 in the ManagementLegacyData Transformation Services folder. I can run the package, but how can I schedule it?? this doesn't appear to be an option anymore like it was in 2000.
I have a problem in getting the info about the execution of a DTS Package.
I have a SQL-2000 Client installation on my Desktop to connect to SQL-2000 Server Database system to do all of my work. i had a DTS package stored in my SQL Server2000 Local Packages. Now i have to schedule the DTS Package from my Desktop. And the DTS package is processing some files from a shared network folder. when i used to run the DTS package manually from my desktop my desktop login have access to that shared folder so there is no problem to run the package.
suppose i scheduled the DTS to execute on daily basis at 10:00 AM. Now my doubt is wher the DTS will be executed after scheduling, which starts DTS execution and is it required my Desktop to be up daily at 10:00 AM, and how the network shared folder is going to be accessed by the DTS, means where to specify the authentication to the shared folder.
I am trying to scheduling package using "Executing Sql Server Agent Task" before that I create new job,But there is error in STEP "Command Line Parameter are Invalid"
